Hi, it may have been a case of the Digital Filter being set to SHARP or Short, I find that if it is set to Slow the sound is much more appealing.   cheers Neil

Agreed ... but you can test it by turning on the equaliser and changing some range - you will notice no difference, however once you turn on 'DSP' the equaliser will kick in.

I purchased a glass protector through ebay ... did cost approx $60 AUS but well worth it and also purchased red Dignis leather case through ebay about $90 :)

allows  the use of up-scaling and also equaliser

Hi all   I decided not to root this unit - **** scared basically. I was wondering if anyone can recommend an app to turn the screen on without having to press the power button. I have tried 'Volume screen lock' but it uses too much battery power. Appreciate any feedback.   cheers

I would visit XDA developers and provide as much info as possible.

Had mine for a month only use the 3.5mm jack and no issues. With the battery I just turn off all non relevant apps and google stuff and battery is acceptable - but you will go through it if you are upscaling .. thus the reason i want to root the device.

Thanks .... sounds more complicated than I thought ... might have to think about this. cheers Neil

thank you for the info ....  I will give it go over the weekend   cheers Neil

um SuperSu says it requires a rooted device .... i would have thought that this is what Kingroot does - please correct me if i am wrong

there are a few things that I am not sure of in this  - but I do appreciate you providing the link. I am wondering if I would be able to stop after the KingRoot section and leave it at that .... is there an issue with KingRoot

thank you for this ... now to find an easy solution to rooting. Would be great if you could also compile one :)   cheers Neil

Will have to give that a try myself :) 

Alternatively when you are in the 'Library ' view where you see categories such as Artist, Songs, etc - you can touch the three dots at the end of the song which will also allow you to add artist,album or song to a playlist depending on which view you are looking at.  

Whilst in the music app,you will see a plus (+) sign next to the album cover photo, by pressing on it you will be able to add the song to whatever playlist you like or create a new one.  

I do exactly just that - connect the dp-x1 to my computer and use it as a drive and open each folder and drag and drop files in ... the n I create the playlist on the dp-x1 which is slow but usuable unless you have 10000 songs

This might help but is also a bit confusing... https://www.headphone.com/pages/balanced-headphones-guide

Would anyone be able to advise if the Onkyo HF player on the Google Play store would use the hardware abilities  of the DP-X1 instead of using the in built music player. ?   Thanks

I was wondering if the Onkyo HF player on Google Play has all the offerings of the built in player on the DP-X1 ? It certianly has a much better interface.     https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.onkyo.jp.musicplayer&hl=en

Thanks Johnny - I was wondering about fatigue -thought it was my headphones

Hi all, I have had my DP-X1 for a week, and was wondering if there is consensus over the correct settings. For example I have the following set Digital filter settings: Sharp / Slow / Short,  -  I use Sharp most of the time Lock Range Adjust: Wide / Normal / Narrow.  - I have not changed this...
